[TEC] Mission Editor Discussion

Couple of mission ed questions if anyone has the answers

I have added ships using the old SH3 scripted way but they dont seem to show
Does this still work
Well as they didnt work I used the random way of SH4 and 5
These are one off docked units BTW that have to stay the same unit

If I only want the ship to spawn once - and stay within the dates - do I use DelayEntryInterval of -1 ? or will any value work if it is the same unit in the group
No random choice but a named unit
And whats the DelayEntry for ?

Final last one
Cooldown days
If I use the Generator nodes and only want 1 instance of a group ever - precise sailing etc - what do I need to use for the cooldown days
Am guessing this is the amount of days till next spawning ?
Will -1 work there or do i need to use enough days to go past wars end

I can add docked ships just like in SH3, using a new mission layer. Download
I've just set them as dockedShip=true,speed=0.

Yet, if I define them to move, using waypoints, they don't show up. I'll play with this more tonight..

That must be it, because a new mis file is generated from the campaign and saved in your savegame folder. Right now I'm always starting a new campaign to check out the new docked ships in Kiel..

hi guys!

I can confirm this that if I add docked units to harbours and then start a mission there in career mode it does not work.
It only works if I begin a new career!Then the ships and units show up!

Pretty unfortunate to add traffic to the game.. but better than nothing.

Btw.

Did some of you notice that all merchant ships in the game do not show up with external cargo???
It can be added with the ME.. really nice cargo .. so sad that it does not show up in the game... maybe we can change this!?

Well thats handy
Only seeing changes in a new career
Sigh
Noticed the ext cargo in ME but you are correct doesnt show ingame
IIRC SH4 didnt have deck cargo either at the start so may be fixable
Wonder if the ships have the nodes on them to plcae the cargo

EDIT
Well the NLL and NVV certainly have the K nodes on them

External cargo works great. I've put artillery, train engines, trucks and they all show up. Pretty nice choices in there already..

In fact, for my campaign:
1. I've upped all the enemy patrol CrewRatings in PortTraffic_TG.mis to VETERAN (default Competent 3/5)
2. Randomly added external/internal cargo to convoys.

After the next patch, some small campaign mods might start surfacing
